sourceman.se​

Here is the mandatory "how this site was built post". A static site generator that powers sourceman.se, built with .NET Razor SSG and Markdig.

It's not a coincidence this website is fast. The website is statically rendered and served via a CDN and quite importantly I have intentionally made the payloads small, fitting the page load within the 14kb rule. The only part of this page that is large is the font, but come on, JetBrains Mono is worth. The internet would be a nicer place if more people cared to remove complexity and improve performance.

Features​

• Razor SSG — pre-renders Razor Pages to static HTML at build time
• Markdown content — blog posts and project pages authored in markdown with YAML frontmatter
• Terminal aesthetic — monospace typography, code-inspired UI elements
• Syntax highlighting — server-side highlighted at build time using ColorCode

Stack​

• .NET 10 with Razor Pages
• ServiceStack Razor SSG for static generation
• Markdig for markdown processing
• ColorCode for syntax highlighting
• Custom CSS with CSS custom properties
• GitHub Pages for hosting
